Fig. 5. Maximum oxygen uptake
(
o2max) as a
function of maximum arterial oxygen transport
(
o2max) measured
in vivo with swimming fish. Values were obtained from the following
sources: chinook salmon from control (C) and exercise-trained (TR) groups,
this study; dogfish (D), Piiper et al.,
1977; leopard shark (L), Lai
et al., 1990; rainbow trout
(R1), Kiceniuk and Jones,
1977, and (R2), Thorarensen et
al., 1996; and values for
Atlantic cod Gadus morhua (Co), are based on those from Axelsson,
1988, for
max; Soofiani and Priede,
1985, for
o2max and
Gallaugher, 1994, for
CaO2. The equation describing the linear regression is
o2max=0.84
o2max -4.03
(r2=0.99).
